Well, we had a similar problem at a computer lab I work at...a folder was
locked and we could NOT get rid of it....we had switched over to sys7
recently.
  Something ocurred to me as I was beating my head against wall trying to
delete all these folders....remember they changed the meaning of several
bits for files/folders under sys7?

Well, as it turns out what used to be the FileLock bit (or something like
that) is now either not used or changed.  Meaning:  with every tool 
available to me under sys7, I could NOT delete that folder.

Solution: try all your utilites under system 6
